The window coverings are down, the store looks nice, and they are ready to start serving up various frozen treats this weekend at
Rita's Water Ice (1014 H St).
Stop by after dinner at Liberty Tree (Chef Glufling at Liberty Tree has monkfish and stuffed quahogs on special this weekend) or either afternoon this weekend for some opening weekend special treats. It's going to be another hot one, so H Street Rita's will be open just in time to provide some much needed water ice, frozen custard, or gelati.
This is awesome news for everyone besides Philadelphia Water Ice. Rita's is about 100 levels above them, not really even comprable.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, they didn't comply with the H Street Overlay's requirement to have a 14 foot ground floor ceiling height and instead chose to put up a cheap 9 foot dropped ceiling. In addition, their wood awning looks like its going to fall off.
ReplyDeleteI hope their product is better than their buildout.
I've never had it, but I hear really good things about them. People like their stuff a lot.
ReplyDeleteKUDOS to them for finally Opening. Its nice see Black People open a business. Philadelphia Water Ice sells more then Water Ice, they Sell the Best Cheesesteaks inDC and Md. I tihnk they will be fine. They have loyal customers. And I dont know about 100 above them.
ReplyDeletePretty ugly looking place.
